Groovy. The date you and Kiki had with a Barry White LP playing the background was gold.

Anyway, here's your album. I want you to write a 26 line review with each sentence starting with the next letter in the alphabet, starting with A and so on. You must write the review as if you were a infant/elementary school teacher, so you can't go using all the fancy words that you might normally use (like circumvent, for example). In the review at least two of the sentences must start with instructions to the class, but it's not OK to use their names to circumvent getting round the A-Z part of the challenge (i.e. you can't write "Xavier, don't pull Rochelle's hair" to get round the X). Bonne chance, amigo...

First come first serve. Let's see how this turns out...

I've been watching Twin Peaks for the first time through (I know), and the name of your log struck me. Aha

hey sorry my thinking-about-music muscles haven't feel up to snuff lately. Will get back on the blabbering and whatnot eventually. Though I'll say that when I do get back to this that Abigail Williams album is really cool and that Luomo album is absolutely gorgeous (and exactly the kind of thing I've been way into lately)

First time I've heard it. Obviously, that's where Mike Will Made It got the beat for Ciara's 'Body Party'. Never knew it was a sample/interpolation until now, but I guess it makes sense - even with its super modern ethereal R'n'B sound, there was something immediately timeless about that melody. Anyway, this is a banger. (That Ciara song is a banger too.) It has an endearing innocence about it that certainly can't be said of a lot of other Miami bass songs that I know. That beat is so simple, but so perfect. Will definitely be dropping this next time I'm at a party. Dope shit.

Songs About Fucking Steve Albini by Kid606

Don't even really wanna talk about this one. Kid606's worst album, and probably one of the worst electronic albums I've ever heard tbh. Title is fucking incredible though

Ok cool thanks guys I was starting to think I was just babbling at myself. Glad to see I'm babbling to a few others as well 🤣

@Skinny, being yourself a connoisseur of summery tunes, what do you think of "My Boo"?

@Squishy, that cheese metaphor is beautiful and expresses pretty much what I was getting at but in far fewer (and far better) words

@Rocky, gonna get on that ASAP

Listening to Into The Light right now and loving. I'm a fan of the idea of vaporwave, but a lot of it is kind of like "I'm going to build a house made of cheese" and then just putting a piece of cheese on top of another piece of cheese, so it's not really that much different than just listening to the source material, and in this scenario the source material is a normally-shaped piece of cheese.

But Infinity Frequencies is great.

Yeah, I read pretty much everything posted in these diaries. Don't always know what to say, though, other than "yeah, that's cool".

Yes, adding Infinity Frequencies to my list of things to listen to. Though I'm still not entirely sure on what the genre boundaries are for vaporwave.

Mostly just taking stabs in the dark when I try to quantify it. Not a very scientific approach but sometimes I'll just decide if something "feels" vaporwavey, though I'm not nearly familiar enough with the genre to have the world's best intuition there. The way I see it it it's like 1 part DJ Paul production, 2 parts smooth jazz, 3 parts various forms of ambient music, 4 parts DJ Screw, 5 parts various forms of plunderphonics, and like a bajllion parts old-ass infomercials and distorted elevator music and whatever the musical equivalent of this is. Also lots of fucking around the edges of the uncanny valley. I dunno.
